The Hugh O’Flaherty Memorial Society has confirmed that the exhibition will run from December 16, to January 17, , coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the Killarney priest’s ordination on December 20, 1925.
The display will feature a collection of photographs, artefacts and documents previously exhibited in Killarney, along with several newly sourced historic items.
